Rules of the chapter section of the Journal Biological Environment and Pollution
Title
Writing short and clear titles need to emphasize subjects/research variables that indicate novelty. Avoid the use of word case studies, influence. The title is spelled in a sentence case.
Identity Author
Author. Author/The writer listed in the article must indeed have a role in the writing. Names are entirely written (without a title). If there is a writer's name with only one word, then writing at the OJS is repeated with the first name and the same last name or the first name abbreviated from the leading letter and the dot (.) and the last name fully written. For example, a writer has no name but Irwan, so either Irwan or " I " could write the Irawan. The full text of all authors listed in the article the full text should also be written on the homepage of the journal "Biological Environment and Pollution" while doing submit (if having a Google scholar and Orcid account suggested submit it to the metadata of the writer at OJS).
Affiliations. Each writer's name must be equipped with affiliations, writing affiliates not knowing the profession (lecture, student, etc.) and should not be included. If there are several authors with the same affiliation in one article, then the affiliation is only written once. Writing format for affiliation study program/department, faculty, Institution, Country.
Email. each author's name listed in the article must be written email; the email used for correspondence (communication between author and editor) is marked with an asterisk.
Abstract
The abstract must contain the purpose, methods, results, and conclusions in are concise, concise, and clear manner to show newness compared to other existing research. The abstract does not contain citations, formulas, tables, and pictures. Written not using terms that are not common / not standard to use, the abstract number is between 150 to 250 words.
Keywords should reflect the article's content to make it easier for other writers to find and interpret the article. Keywords are not abbreviated and use terms that are common in biological research. The English keyword (keyword) is not a translation but a similar term with a comparative language in biological research.
Introduction
The introduction should contain the background, the urgency of research, and gap analysis with existing studies to point to the improvement given in biological science. The purpose of the study should be clear in the introduction. In the introduction, it is better not to have tables and pictures. The introduction was presented succinctly and no more than two pages.
Methods
The method is clearly written by containing data collection and analysis techniques used to obtain results; besides, it can contain the number of respondents used in the study. Writing a formula can use the equation by including the main source used as a reference. For writers whose articles are not from the research results, this section of the method can be used to contain the stages of extracting information and criteria for information sources used to conduct a critical and in-depth study.
Results and Discussion
Results and discussion can at least include ”what?” which conveys results or findings from research, the data presented are not raw data, “why?” scientific study and there is a link between the results obtained and the basic concepts; “what else?” compare the results of your research with other research, suggested to provide implications for research results both theoretical and applied.
Results and discussion are written in a single unit. The author is not justified in separating the results and discussion, especially in a new chapter. Writing the results and discussion is done directly by reviewing sharply one by one the results of the research obtained with the support of relevant references and priority from primary sources. The results presented in this section are net. Data analysis processes such as statistical calculations and hypothesis testing processes need not be presented. Only the results of the analysis and the results of hypothesis testing need to be reported. The study results can be supplemented with tables, pictures, and graphs (separate writing provisions) to clarify the presentation of the research results verbally.
Conclusion
Conclusions include statements from the analysis results of the discussions conducted on the research findings and answer the research purposes. Conclusions emphasize the novelty of the discovery or development carried out. Conclusions are written briefly, concisely, and clearly in one paragraph.
